OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the Trump administration announced it had found at least 146,000 migrant children who were lost during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

A staggering 450,000 migrant children disappeared under President Biden\u2019s tenure, and \u201cnearly 300,000\u201d are still unaccounted for, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 6[00] to 700 times,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t care who you are. I don\u2019t care if you have kids. You don\u2019t have kids. I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re a liberal, you\u2019re independent, you\u2019re a Democrat. You\u2019re Republican.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you? Who are you?\u201d Mr. Mullin fumed. \u201cAnd do you know where we\u2019re finding the most of them? Sanctuary cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xavier Becerra, who is running for governor in the sanctuary state of California, served as Mr. Biden\u2019s health and human services secretary. His department oversaw the migrant sponsor program that let hundreds of thousands of children disappear.<\/p>\n

Last year, President Trump\u2019s Health and Human Services Department opened an investigation into the prior administration\u2019s process for vetting such sponsors and found Mr. Becerra\u2019s team ignored obvious safety risks to expedite the process as a record number of migrant children flowed through Mr. Biden\u2019s open border.<\/p>\n

Many of those children may have ended up in the custody of sexual predators and human traffickers who took advantage of the government\u2019s lax vetting process. The Trump administration\u2019s report details cases where migrant sponsors provided documentation to the government that was obviously fake or doctored to gain access to the children \u2014 fraud that was never questioned by the previous administration.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reported in 2023 that Mr. Biden\u2019s White House and HHS were repeatedly alerted to signs that children were being placed with exploitative sponsors. This information was either ignored or missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of children have ended up in punishing jobs across the country \u2014 working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machinery in factories \u2014 all in violation of child labor laws,\u201d The Times reported.<\/p>\n

It detailed at least five HHS staff members who filed complaints at the time and were pushed out of their jobs after raising concerns about child safety.<\/p>\n

During Mr. Becerra\u2019s tenure at HHS, The Times reported at least 85,000 unaccompanied minors whom HHS could not reach during follow-up calls. On the campaign trail, Mr. Becerra has repeatedly denied such claims. He calls the allegations \u201cTrump lies\u201d and \u201ca MAGA hoax.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one viral exchange with a reporter, Mr. Becerra aggressively pushed back against the missing children statistic, stating that The Times\u2019 report was \u201cnot accurate. What you read is not accurate \u2026 it was never the case that we could not find kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the allegations are sadly true. Mr. Becerra\u2019s incompetence in running HHS during the migrant crisis should disqualify him from managing the nation\u2019s most populous state.<\/p>\n

Even sadder: Many of those still-missing children are probably being trafficked in the sanctuary state of California.<\/p>\n

Last week, Mr. Mullin chastised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic governors of Virginia, New York and California for \u201crefusing to allow their law enforcement to join in the 287(g) program where we simply go after the worst of the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n
